1st FO of 2012

Reed wanted some fingerless mitts for flying his kites this winter. They turned out great and fit perfectly. Of course since I finished them Winter has disappeared and it was a balmy 70 degrees today on February 2nd. I continue to work on Deep Peace. Lace knitting is good for me as it requires total concentration but I am not good at total concentration so am ripping repeat nine out again. I blame the damn Republicans! I was knitting along during the Florida primary debate with no problems and then...Newt Gingrich mentioned building a colony on the moon and I dropped several stitches. He is one scary dude!
